Abstract: 23,352. Tillotson, G. Nov. 14. Seats.-In a dry seat for use in gardens, or on tramcars, omnibuses, and the like, the back 4 normally assumes the vertical position and brings the seat-bottoms 3, which are pivoted at 2, into the closed position shown in Fig. 1. The side bars 5 of the back are T-shaped having the lower ends fitted with studs 14 working in slots 6 in the end frames, and are further formed with cam slots 7 which engage with pins 8 under the seat-bottoms. The upper edges of the slots 7 are curved about the lower ends of the slots 6, so that as the back is moved about one of its pivots 14, one of the seatbottoms is lowered for use, the other seat-bottom being pushed back by a vertical piece 15 inserted in the seat-back 4. A modified construction for seats with non-reversible backs is shown in Fig. 3. The seat may be retained in the position for use by the engagement of a plate 10 with a stud 12 on the seat-back, the plate 10 being fitted with a bolt working in slots 11 in the end frame. The back 4 may have a downward extension 3<A> for the prevention of pocket picking.

Title: Improved Methods of and Apparatus for Finishing Internal Keyways, and similar Flat Surfaces in Holes, in Iron, Steel, Brass and other Metals.
Inventor: FORD HENRY WILLIAM
Filed: 1906-02-23
Granted: 1907-02-23
Abstract: 4429. Ford, H. W., and Tovey, S. T. Feb. 23. Grooving; surfacing.-Relates to apparatus for finishing, by grinding, internal keyways and similar flat surfaces in holes in iron or other metal. The grinding-tool is carried at the end of an arm and is reciprocated thtough the hole by a rack-and-pinion arrangement. The tool is driven by a belt running over a pulley on the tool shaft and a second pulley on a countershaft at the other end of the arm. This countershaft is driven, by belt or friction gearing, through a second countershaft carried by a swinging bracket, to allow of the motion of the arm carrying the tool. The arm is guided by a frame carried on adjustable slides and secured to the face of the work, or it may be attached to a planing, shaping, or slot-cutting machine or to a lathe. The grinding-tool may be a cupped face grinder e, Fig. 4, for treating the flat surfaces in polygonal holes, or an edge grinder i, Fig. 5, for treating keyways, mounted on transverse shafts carrying a pulley in heads d, j which can alternatively be attached to the end of an arm t. The arm t is guided by a frame carried by cross-slides operated by screws l, m and secured to the plate q which is, in the form shown, bolted to the work. The tool is driven by the belt u running over the pulley a<11> on the shaft t<1>, which is in turn driven by the belt w running over the pulley v on the shaft n, which also carries the driving-pulley a<1>. The shaft n runs in bearings in a bracket v pivoted on the shaft t<1> and supported by a spring attached to the lug x and to some fixed point. The shaft t' may be driven through belt and friction gearing as shown in Fig. 2 when grinding flat surfaces in polygonal holes. The bracket v is mounted on the end b<1> of the arm t and is secured in position by a screw b<11>. The pulley c<11>, carrying a friction disk which runs in contact with the disk d<1> on the shaft t<1>, is driven from the shaft n by a belt running over the pulley r. The pulley d' is adjustable along the shaft t<1> to vary the speed of the drive, and the friction disks are kept in contact by the spring c'.

Title: Improvements relating to Means for Vibrating Sonorous Bodies in Musical Instruments.
Inventor: SEVERY MELVIN LINWOOD
Filed: 1906-02-27
Granted: 1906-11-08
Abstract: 4826. Severy, M. L., and Sinclair, G. B. Feb. 27. Instruments with sonorous strings.-A sonorous body, such as a steel or iron wire 1, is vibrated, on depression of a key 20, by electro-magnets 2, 3, placed on opposite sides of it at the proper striking point, and excited alternately with the frequency natural to the string. The intermittent currents are obtained by brushes 25, 26 bearing on the edge of a rotating disk 10, the edge being divided into alternative conductive and non-conductive sections 12, 13, of equal lengths. The brushes are set so that one magnet begins to be excited as soon as the other is disconnected. This may be effected also by using a separate disk for each brush. A series of these disks is mounted on a shaft 11 connected by a brush 32 to the source of electricity 30. When the number of sections required by a given note is fractional, the conductive sections are all made of the correct length required by that number, and one of the non-conductive sections is made longer, as at 14, Fig. 1, so that the phase of the vibration changes once in every revolution of the disk. Or the non- conductive sections may be made all of the correct length and two or more adjacent conductive segments made shorter, as at 15, Fig. 3, so as to make the change of phase more gradual. The make- and-break device may otherwise consists of bars reciprocated beneath a fixed brush-support ; or the bars may be fixed and form a segment of cylinder over which a pivoted brush-support is reciprocated.
